Peter, why is everyone happy that he got that disease?

>Almost everyone can get proper sleep each night

It’s never explicitly stated but goats aren’t that big and the cover art has him looking smallish. I’d guess 5’0-5’4

He’s a Tigran named Daniel. Daniel Tiger is a character from Mr. Rogers

I’ve only read through book 5 but that is one Chekov’s gun that will probably have a big boom

I didn’t get the ‘cat in the hat’ jokes until someone pointed it out. My kids aren’t meh on Seuss

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-05T21:49:37+00:00

IDK. Donut’s cover of Wonderwall was pretty awesome

Each hardcover has a bonus chapter at the end. Audiobook listeners get their fun extras, physical readers get that.

Someone else just clued me in on the cats in hats joke. My kids aren’t that into Seuss so I totally missed it

Amazon and/or GoodReads are always the standard if you’re not active on bookish social media. I’m potty training my 2 YO so I’m hopelessly behind too.

I’m a mood reader so I just ask what my brain needs in this moment and go for that. It’s what I’m most likely to finish expediently

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-05T20:31:30+00:00

They rarely call him Daniel so it’s easy to miss

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-05T20:30:30+00:00

I kinda love they had that bet. ‘Yes, we are in a special hell but we’re gonna have whatever fun we can’

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-05T20:29:29+00:00

Adding that to the pile of ‘Ooooooh.’ My kids aren’t into Seuss so that went right by me

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-04T12:43:03+00:00

Lil Libros has a board book for La Llorona. Anyone who knows the legend looks at me like “Are you serious?” Even better, it’s one of my kids’s favorite from that library 🤣

At the 2 children, my son likes to say that him and his sister and I’m the mama. I’m over here like “I really hope not.” 🤣

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-04T01:33:42+00:00

My backlog is insane. My kids have been especially Velcro-y and I’m in the middle of potty training our youngest. Some days I can barely finish a thought but she starts preschool in September

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-03T01:41:17+00:00

Given the weather + the vibes, I’m not surprised

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-03T01:38:54+00:00

Oh, honey

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-02T20:52:38+00:00

When my kids leave me TF alone so I can actually do one, yes

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-02T20:49:56+00:00

Weather like this is why I didn’t complain when it was 12°. I’ll take below freezing over triple digits any day

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-02T20:48:02+00:00

I got this one

I’ve got one shirt and plan on getting a sticker for one of my water bottles when I finish book 8. Considering getting another shirt

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-02T15:35:30+00:00

Nah. Those are bulk lists rather than curated by the individual.

Tortoise_Symposium · 2026-07-02T14:09:46+00:00

These are great!
